1. Packing your lingerie and swimwear in your suitcase

A smart tip is to fill the cups of your bras and swimwear tops with panties and other bottom pieces. In addition to saving space, this prevents the cups from collapsing during travel.

Also remember to place your lingerie and swimwear last in your suitcase. For bottom pieces, suitcases usually include a compartment that can be closed with a zipper. As for full-bust bras, it is best to ensure there is enough space at the top so they are not crushed.

2. Caring for your lingerie every day

Good storage of your lingerie goes hand in hand with proper care. Knowing how to wash your underwear and swimwear is essential to ensure their longevity. Lingerie care requires great attention and respect for certain rules. Here are the most important ones:

  • Check the washing labels of your underwear and follow the instructions.
  • Prefer hand washing. If you machine wash your lingerie, use a laundry bag.
  • Let your underwear air dry. Tumble drying and ironing should be avoided.
  • Do not expose your bras and panties to light, as it may fade their colors.
  • Store your bras inside each other in your lingerie drawer.

3. Essential storage accessories

If you are unsure how to store your underwear, do not hesitate to use accessories—they are here to help.

  • Individual lingerie pouches

Placing your lingerie in an individual pouch provides extra protection against other items that could damage it.

  • Portable cases for bras and swimwear tops

Portable cases can hold up to 3 full-size lingerie tops. Inside the case, bras should be stacked flat, cups nested together to preserve their shape.

  • Waterproof swimwear bags

A waterproof swimwear bag is very useful for keeping your items safe, as it allows you to separate wet swimwear from the rest of your belongings.

Key points to remember

Save space by inserting panties into bra cups or bikini tops to keep them in shape and optimize space, and place them last in your suitcase.

Follow the washing instructions on the labels, wash by hand or in a laundry bag, and leave to dry in the open air without exposure to sunlight.

Use individual pouches to support the cups, and waterproof bags to isolate wet swimsuits in your luggage.
